Bis(N¹-isopropyl-2-methylpropane-1,2-diamine)diisothiocyanatocadmium(II)

In the complex, [Cd(NCS)₂(C₇H₁₈N₂)₂], the Cd atom lies on an inversion centre and has a distorted octahedral environment consisting of four amine N atoms from two bidentate, N¹-isopropyl-2-methylpropane-1,2-diamine (N–N) ligands [Cd—N(primary) = 2.362 (3) Å, Cd—N(secondary) = 2.400 (3) Å], and two N atoms from two isothiocyanato groups [Cd—N = 2.378 (5) Å]. The conformation of the diamine chelate rings is δλ. Molecules are linked by N—H...S hydrogen bonds, N...S 3.665 Å.
